[bluedog]

The Jackson State football team has won its first Southwestern Athletic Conference (http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/SPORTS030101/712150356/1073)championship since 1996 with a 42-31 victory over Grambling State.


The Tigers rode a Herculean effort by quarterback Jimmy Oliver, who was named Offensive Most Valuable Player by throwing for 249 yards and three touchdowns. Grambling hadn’t given up 42 points all season long.

JSU jumped out to a 28-12 halftime lead and looked had Grambling one foot in the grave. But the West Division champions weren’t ready to die quite yet.

Great game. I honestly didn't expect Comegy to turn our program around this quickly but I have to give credit where credit is due. xthumbsupx

I'm sure he didn't either Mr. Tiger. Let's just hope it's not to much to soon. Congrats again

I don't think so, my wife wouldn't like that. xlolx Sounds like something I should have been a part of.

Speaking of Northwestern, it looks like they are going to lose their coach.
